Abstract

For the members of a national group, territory is their traditional piece of land, on the one hand defining their collective identity, and, on the other, symbolically expressing their attempts to morally and intellectually incorporate the physical space into their cultural self-definition as a nation. Kapralski describes several manipulations of landscape in south-eastern Poland by both Jews and Poles.
